About Charlie Sproule

We have a romantic history with Jim Thorpe. Family of ours owned hotels and a bottling company during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As sometimes happens, the accountant ran away with all the money, so we just get to look at our lost inheritance and think about what might have been.
Jim Thorpe was the first place we vacationed together as a couple and was the site of our wedding ceremony on a gorgeous May day. It's a place where our family toiled in the mines and in the sewing factory and raised their kids. It’s where every street had a bar and a church and people you dated had to live within walking distance.
Now, Jim Thorpe is about artists, adventure and the art of dining, all of which we believe in and support. We can mountain bike, hike or antique and then dine on American cuisine or attend the strawberry festival at a local church. We like it all.

Why Charlie Sproule chose Palmerton

Life in the big city is a noisy adventure, and we craved a bit of solace. It was the mountains that always beckoned, not the shore. Within an hour's drive, we are happily parked in front of our home, feeling miles away from the bustling life we left behind. We enjoy the secluded feel to the place, while knowing that we are just a few minutes away from grocery stores, dining, drive-in movies, hiking, and dozens of other activities.

What makes this Cottage unique

Star-gazing while sitting on our back porch, after a meal made of ingredients supplied by local farm stands cannot be beat.
Driving 10 minutes to Beltzville Lake and having to choose between a dozen or so amazing hikes is a delight.
Running down country roads past horse farms and seeing the woods in their fall glory is beyond words.

This house was nice and clean and everything worked. We were very happy with the whole experience. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks!

I'm sorry you didn't have a good experience. Our house is out in the country, and about once a year or so we get a mouse. As I said on the phone, I wish you would have called me when this was happening. I could have easily relocated you to one of my other rentals, brought a trap over, etc. Instead, you tried to "catch" the mouse, which resulted in a door having to be replaced. For future travelers, the mouse is gone, may he rest in peace.

Great Place

Very nice, Charlie was great on instructions and checking in with us. We would stay there again.

The house was clean and decorated with some cool stuff. It was perfect for our group of 6. Not real secluded, but felt that way. Close to Jim Thorpe, which was where we spent some time. Would definitely rent this property again.

Lovely cottage in a secluded area within close distance to everything. I was a little bit worried about the bathrooms as they weren't pictures of them but turns out they are more than fine. You can tell the owner really cared for this house with attention to details. Loved the backyard full of pine trees and little ferns, full entertainment suites with netflix and etc , kitchen with full of local gourmet condiments and teas! Charlie made sure we had everything we needed for the weekend from trip recommendations to questions. Our family all talked about how we want to comeback in the winter, so we will be coming back for sure. Highly recommended!
